Description / Features

  • Violations by categories
  • Hotspots:
    • Most violated rules
    • Most violated files
    • Most complex classes
    • Most duplicated files
  • Dashboard, violations and hotspots for all child modules (if they exists)

You can download an example of report here.

Usage

Maven Plugin

First analyze your project in sonar. Then run the generate goal (report will be created in the target directory):

Available properties (-Dproperty=value)

  • sonar.host.url: sonar server URL (i.e http://my-host:9000/sonar)
  • sonar.branch (-Dbranch is also supported): report on a project branch
  • report.type: select a report type. Values:
    • -Dreport.type=executive
    • -Dreport.type=workbook (default)
  • sonar.pdf.username: username for access WS API
  • sonar.pdf.password: password for the user

If your Sonar server URL is http://localhost:9000 you don't need to specify sonar.host.url.
